Question: I know SD is suppresive but I started a pulse cycle yesterday and had a gigantic woody this morning that felt like it would make a horse envious. Was this the result of a 10 mg dose or just a good workout?
Also, why is it that orals are suppressive yet low dose of Test injections boost sex drive?
Ok well first of all, all anabolic steroids, oral and injectable, are suppressive.
Testosterone is your body's natural steroid and it performs a lot of functions, one of them is sex drive so any dose of testosterone that brings your T above baseline will raise your libido.
When it comes to different steroids and libido interactions, it's complicated and generally just varies a lot from person to person. Usually, if you spend enough time suppressed on cycle without injecting testosterone, your libido will go down.
Some people get boosts from orals. Like Halodrol, sometimes Phera, and I've heard good things about protodrol as well. Then there's steroids that tend to kill your sex drive, which is pretty much anything 19-nor related (deca, tren, max LMG).
SD is hit or miss. Generally what I see is not a lot of libido interaction, or a slight libido boost at first followed by a decline later on in the cycle. But like i said, hit or miss, your libido may increase and you'll see better erections... while some people have reported serious libido problems on SD. It just varies a lot.
As for pulsing, it should be friendlier on your libido than a straight SD cycle because the off days allow your body to make slight rebounds in natural test production. Perhaps, your "woody" is the result of this little rebound.
